02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Miami Dolphins primarily utilize a Cover-2 zone defense with elements of Cover-3 and man-to-man coverage.

Boundary CBZone CornerNickelback
Best role

Initially, he could compete for a starting boundary corner role or serve as a key rotational player in a zone-heavy scheme, with the ceiling to be a long-term starter.

Wrong fit

Man-heavy press-man schemes that require sustained mirroring of elite route-runners without safety help.

Taylor's quickness and speed are well-suited for a zone-based defensive backfield where he can read quarterbacks and make plays on the ball.

04The evaluation

Selected #54 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Boise State.
